Summary: Python expects __eprintf on Solaris

On Solaris 2.6 (current patches), Python 2.1.2
out-of-the-box install.

nm *.a | grep eprintf   shows nothing in /lib and
/usr/lib.  Presumably, the build system is expecting
that function to exist, when it really doesn't.

Same problem on Solaris 2.7:

/usr/local/bin/python
Python 2.1.2 (#1, Jan 23 2002, 10:44:53) [C] on sunos5
